Analyzing A Spurs vs. Lakers Playoff Matchup

Since the 2009-2010 NBA season began, and even before the season began, everyone is predicting a Spurs vs. Lakers Western Conference Finals series. It would be what the NBA, Spurs and Lakers fans hope for. Duncan, Parker, Ginobili taking on Bryant, Gasol and Artest. These two teams have plenty of history and should everything work out, these teams would provide NBA fans an epic playoff series.

AccuScore forecasted before the season started what would happen if the Lakers and Spurs met in the Western Conference Finals, and the news isn’t good for Spurs fans.
